** ERROR at unpack: failed to unpack gettext-0.21.tar.lz ** - build failed (create_gpg.sh: line 122)
make: *** [MacGPG2] Error 1

So I did this:

brew install lzip
make

Now it is building gettext, and the install is continuing!

   The build failed again. This time with:
   

   Making install in tools
    /opt/homebrew/bin/gmkdir -p '/Users/pboling/src/heads/MacGPG2/build/dist/x86_64/bin'
     /opt/homebrew/bin/ginstall -c gpgconf gpg-connect-agent gpgsplit watchgnupg gpgparsemail gpg-wks-server gpgsplit gpgtar '/Users/pboling/src/heads/MacGPG2/build/dist/x86_64/bin'
   ginstall: will not overwrite just-created '/Users/pboling/src/heads/MacGPG2/build/dist/x86_64/bin/gpgsplit' with 'gpgsplit'
   make[3]: *** [install-binPROGRAMS] Error 1
   make[2]: *** [install-am] Error 2
   make[1]: *** [install-recursive] Error 1
   
   
   
   
   ** ERROR at build: gnupg (x86_64) install ** - build failed (create_gpg.sh: line 318)
   make: *** [MacGPG2] Error 1
   

   Seems that I am not meant to use MacGPG from a source build.

   Hi Peter,

   thank you for that info, we'll add that requirement.
   As for the other errors you are seeing. I've never heard of either gmkdir or ginstall so it appears that some packages from your homebrew installation are causing this issue.

   Since we had to adapt the build process to build universal MacGPG binaries it also depends on what version of macOS you are building, since unfortunately the universal binary makes the build process more complex.
